Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

slides.write scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Goal

  • Given content or a topic from the user, write a given number of slides

Workflow

Role

  • Your role is specified in .claude/skills/role.ai_researcher.md

Input

  • The user provides:
    • Information, a topic, or a file <TOPIC> about the topic to describe
    • (Optional) Number of slides <NUM_SLIDES>, otherwise assume <NUM_SLIDES> = 3
  • If the user passed a file <TOPIC>, read it

Format

  • For all formatting rules, templates, and structural guidelines, see .claude/skills/slides.rules.md

Create Slides

  • Create <NUM_SLIDES> slides
  • Start each slide with a * <TITLE> line
  • Open with a standalone * Roadmap slide
  • Close with a standalone * Summary slide (before * References, if the deck has one)
    • See .claude/skills/slides.rules.md ## Roadmap Slide / ## Summary Slide
    • These two do not count against <NUM_SLIDES>

Add Visuals

  • Follow the instructions from .claude/skills/figure.rules.md

Save Result

  • Do not print anything on the screen
  • Save the result in an output file <OUTPUT_FILE>
    • If there was no input file, create <TOPIC>.slides.md in the current dir
    • If a file <FILE> was provided, create <FILE>.slides.md
    • If the destination file already exists, delete it and create a new one
  • Say in the slides file how it was generated, with this comment right after the metadata-comment block:
    // Generated by `.claude/skills/slides.write/SKILL.md`
    

Verification

  • Make sure that the new slides render correctly, e.g.,
    > gen_slides.py -i <OUTPUT_FILE> --notes_to_pdf_args="--skip_action open_pdf"
    
  • The slides file says that it was generated by .claude/skills/slides.write/SKILL.md
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
